blockquote doesn't work

Could you provide me with some more info so that i can look into this?

I defined a blockquote style in style.css - for example:

blockquote 
{
	background-color:#F4F4F4;
	font-style:italic;
	margin:0 0 12px 12px;
	padding:12px;
}

I used the blockqoute tag - enclosing the quote within the blockquote tags - when creating a new comment:

<blockquote>Quote goes here</blockquote>

For the blockquote to work, you'll need to add the blockquote tag to the "Allowed HTML tags:" in the input format settings.

I'm surprised I haven't noticed this after a couple months using Amadou, but I have problems with blockquotes too. Here is an example page, with Full HTML input method:

http://www.progressiveu.org/171632-progressive-churches

On my old theme it just indented the text and I think put a blue background. That would be a nice start, but some sexy quotation marks like the drupal theme might be even better!

(Just a suggestion. I love the theme and could never do it myself, so I'm not one to complain)

I'm having the same problem. Full html, defined in css, still nada. In Bluemarine, works fine. Now that's weird.

hmmmmm... *scratches head*

If I take the given blockquote styles (as above) and place them in a div tag around the section of text, it works just fine. So some other style command is overriding. That's probably obvious to CSS experts; just thought I'd share the tip for others to use until jwolf or someone else can find what's overriding.
<div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; font-style:italic; margin:0 0 12px 12px; padding:12px;">quoted material here </div>

oops, never mind...ignore everything I said above. Too many Drupal sites going at one time... Sorry.

Fixed with the release of amadou 5.x-3.0 -- although, I still think it was never broken.

I still have this problem in 4.7; I added a blockquote style as follows:

blockquote {
font-size : 12px;
font-family: times new roman;
background color: #FFF82
padding-left: 100px
padding-right: 5px
border: 2px dashed #FC8A42
}

(ugly, I know, but wanted to play with it until I got something I liked)

and the output does change the font, and font size, but nothing else. You can check it out here: http://h2otown.info/node/5122

Thanks so much for any help you can offer. I run a local online community/news site for the small city where I live, and I quote a lot of news stories, so making quotes more easily distinguished from the text would be a big aid to the participants.

Lisa Williams you're not using 4.7.x-3.1
Please create a new bug report with the correct version you are using.

Thanks

So....you're closing this not because it's fixed? But because the bug reports of all the people above don't work for you?

*plonk*
